Immersion CEO Talks PS3 Rumble

Gamedaily writes: "After the DualShock 3 was officially unveiled during the Tokyo Game Show, Sony confirmed to GameDaily BIZ that the rumble technology in the new controller is the same as what's in the old DualShock 2. That said, certain editors have claimed that the DualShock 3 rumble is definitely improved and Kojima Productions' Ryan Payton believes the DualShock 3 is more advanced as well"

Bebop6836d ago

Immersion are not going to go & divulge information that Sony might not want out there at the moment.

mighty_douche6836d ago (Edited 6836d ago )

or perhaps it is infact better. remember, the hardware might be the same but its SOFTWARE that drives that hardware and i think you'll agree that we've seen a hugh advancement in software since Dual Shock 2.

Douche6836d ago

Impliment Immersion's new Touchsense technology. Now!

XxZxX6836d ago

upgrade = more money. I'm sure Sony will just stick with last-gen shock. Shock is so last gen anyway, It just people still want it and Sony has to bring it back.

Douche6836d ago

You definately did not read the article. The Immersion CEO clearly stated that their new Touchsense technology is less expensive than the Dualshock 2's last gen technology. Sony's actually spending more than they would if they implimented the new rumble technology into the Dualshock 3. The Touchsense rumble runs off of one motor instead of two which is less expensive and less power consuming. The technology resting in that single motor is much more advanced than those two motors of the Dualshock 2. It doesn't make any sense as to why Sony didn't choose this. The CEO even mentioned of how easy the new rumble can be worked with. This doesn't make any sense! Wake up Sony!!!

ARog346836d ago

It's BEYOND Rumble... Read the article, I wouldn't see why Sony would not add the feature. Better technology, cheaper to make, can be used with the SIXAXIS. Sony, thank you for making up with Immersion, but it will only make sense if you release the DualShock 3 with their technology.

Time Lord6836d ago

New 'touchsence' rumble or the same old rumble? We need clear f'n answer.

Adamalicious6836d ago

We know that it's not TouchSense.

We also know that it uses the "same technology" as Dual Shock 2, but I believe this was said in regards to how developers program for it as opposed to the quality of the hardware in the controllers and what it's capable of.

Adamalicious6836d ago

It sounds more and more like everyone has seen TouchSense and decided not to use it. If what he's saying is true and it's really less expensive then is there anything left to assume other than it probably sucks?

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle52d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde59d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy59d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12559d ago (Edited 59d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga61d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit60d ago (Edited 60d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199260d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga60d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac60d ago (Edited 60d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman60d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger60d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box61d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion60d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7261d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7560d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit60d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14961d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7761d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
